Happy Birthday Ricky!

12 years a pro and still only 26. Could he possibly have a 25 year career when all is said and done?

As I said during the game, Ricky looked like he was in rookie form tonight, and that's a scary thing for the rest of the league.

What JL the 3rd had to say about Thibs "...You have some coaches who are not players coaches, who want it their way. If you can’t do it their way, they’re off you. He makes adjustments so it can fit you..."

Ricky is going to be fun to watch this year :nod:

I would not trade Rubio, but I would seriously consider trading Chris Dunn.

How does his new injury look like?

Imagine Anthony Tolliver kicking you in the elbow while you're trying push yourself off the floor.

How long is he going to be out for?

Doctors will test him today. Stay tuned.

This kid's got serious bad luck. All three of his injuries have been accidents involving other players. Hopefully it won't be too bad this time.

I hope Ricky will be back soon. It's not like he has a shooting arm to injure.

The team is in serious trouble if he has to miss significant time, Dunn is nowhere near ready.

Agreed. Though, if there is a fast-track to getting ready, filling in for an inured starter is it.

Yeah, I'm expecting Tyus to heavily outplay Dunn if Rubio is out or a significant stretch.

If he even gets on the court over Lucas

Some people dont want Dunn to succeed with the "fear" of Dunn starting over Rubio in the near future.

No one should be afraid of the best player getting the job. If Dunn proves to be better in time, so be it. Right now it's Ricky depending on how extensive the injury is.

If Dunn can stay in front of his man and get the ball to the right guy, then we'll be fine (depending on how long Ricky is out)

The problem is backup PG now

Get well soon Ricky

I've been pleasantly surprised with Dunn. Tons of heart and hustle, hasn't been asked to do much and hasn't tried to do too much.

Hope Tyus will get opportunity to show his game.
